Carson Williams Hits Home Run No. 19 on Saturday
Carson Williams belted his 19th home run of the season on Saturday in a 1-for-4 day at the plate at Triple-A Durham. The Rays' top-ranked prospect can clearly make hard contact, and even looked like he was beginning to hit for average from mid-June to mid-July when he hit .308 over a 22-game stretch, but since then he's 9-for-55 (.163) while the strikeouts continue to plague him, recording 22 strikeouts to just five walks over the last 15 games. For the season, the former first-rounder is slashing .212/.312/.426 with a 34.5 percent strikeout rate. If he can get going, maybe the Rays call him up in September, otherwise, he should make a debut in 2026, although he may get the call for his glove more than his bat.
